Support for Singlefile?

Features
1

I love Joplin, but SingleFile currently has a better web clipper. Any chance support could somehow be added to allow one-click SingleFile to Joplin adds? I know SingleFile can do this if Joplin could receive WebDAV requests, but I'm not sure of any further technical details. Thanks.

Do you have an example where SingleFile performs better than the Joplin Web Clipper with the "Clip complete page (HTML)" option? I think both essentially do the same thing and bundle HTML and CSS in a single item. Maybe the difference is that SingleFile can bundle JS too and we don't for security reasons.

Sure. I need to clip a lot of Reddit, and I use the older format of Reddit.

So take this URL for example (this forum is not allowing me to add links so I am breaking it into pieces

https:// old dot reddit dot com/r/literature/comments/17a9o2v/whats_your_favourite_japanese_contemporary_or/

Joplin fails to capture the comments. SingleFile gets it all perfectly.

Ok that's interesting, the comments are indeed hidden when saving the page HTML although they are present in the code. I'll create an issue to track this

Hi there -- I see the attached bug is closed, but the problem still seems to be the case... just wondering what's happening with that? Thanks.

What version are you running? I think this commit is only in the pre-release so if you aren't running the pre-release v3.x then you won't see it yet. Just because an issue is closed it doesn't mean you will instantly see it in a current release, it just means the bug has been fixed in the dev branch.

Oh got it, thank you for the clarification. I'm not running the pre-release yet.

Do you know whether the fix will work retroactively? In other words, all the pages I've collected so far will display properly after the fix, no, since the information is there, it just wasn't displaying correctly?

From I understand, yes it will work retroactively, it seems the renderer previously banned the <form> html tag completely along with its contents but now will replace it with <div> so the content can be safely displayed.

You can always check, if you look at the raw HTML of your note and find the <form> tags that have the data you are after then they should show in the new versions, if those tags don't exist in the first place then there isn't any content for Joplin to render.
